Sunday, at which resolutions were adopted
recommending that all the local as

General Executive Board for an itemized
account of all the expenditures made by
that body during the past year, so that they
may know where and how the $500, 900

Board should fail or decline to render such
an account, it is proposed to compel it to do
so by law.

SECRET SERVICE REPORT.
The Chief Tells of the Attempts "Made
to Shove the Queer"


WASHINGTON, Dec 0-The annual report
of the Chief of the Secret Service di-
vision of the Treasury was made public
yesterday. 1t shows that there were 355
persons arrested by the officers of the
service during the past fiscal year for
violation of the laws against counterfeiting,
ETC. OF this number seventy were convicted
and sentenced to imprisonment The re-
port says that the counterfeiting now being
done is principally the work of Italians, who
operate in bands in different portions of the
country. The report refers to the fact that
all but two of the many skilled
operators arrested since the war
for counterfeiting United States bonds
are now at liberty, and says they may be
expected to resume their nefarious opera,
tons at any time. A statement is made
that counterfeiters at present seem to DO
devoting their atten ton almost exclusively
to silver coin. 1t is said, however, that the
work is much inferior to previous efforts in
the same direction

SHOP LOUsE.o
A warning. Issued to Californta
Hop GrOwerS.


WASHINGTON, June Is. -rProf. Riley,
entomologist of the Department of Agri
culture, has made public the result oi
his exhaustive investigation into Robit's
"phorodon khumuli, or hop louise.
His discoveries, it is expected, will
prove of great value to hop growers.
The Professor has satisfied himself that
the eggs laid by the female 1t the close
of the summer are deposited in plum
trees, where the insect matches in spring
and resides until its third generation.
This third brood, unlike its predecessors,
is winged. and Immediately after its
development abandons the plum tree
and attacks the hop vine. In autumn
counter migration from hop vine to plum
tree occurs. and the winter eggs are de-
posted and the cycle of life goes on in
tie same fashion. 1t is a notable fact,
that in regions where the cultivation of
hop vines is a new industry, growers have
had complete immunity for awhile from
this pest. In California to-day they are
not troubled by it. Prof. Riley believes
that the phorodon humili has been
brought to this country from Europe on
plum stock, and there is every reason to
believe that phylloxera, the dreaded
grape pest, was carried from this coun-
try to Europe on grape vine cuttings;
therefore California hop growers are
warned to beware of Importing plums
to California from Eastern hop regions.
These discoveries render it possible to
check the ravages of the hop louise,
either by the use of insecticides in
spring time before the insects have
reached the winged state or by destruc-
tion of the sheltering plum trees.

SAN FRANCISCO, June l5.-The Gus
toms Inspectors arrested a man who
gave the name of George Connor, as the
overland train on the Central Pacific
from the East reached Oakland to-day.
He made desperate fight to escape, but
was held and turned over to the custody
of the United States Marshal. Not
being able to give bail, the inspectors
went to the seizure room, where his
trunks were first broken open, and, as
was expected, had nothing in them but
opium. There were 1856 6ve-tael boxes,
worth something over $1,000. An
important discovery was also made
in his pocket.book. 1t was filled
with papers carefully folded and
closely written with Chinese, the sup
position being that they are instructions
sent by Hong Kong syndicate through
Canada to this city. These have been
given to the custom house interpreter,
who will translate them at once for the
information of the Collector. The gov.
ernment detectives claim that the man
arrested is one of the chief agents of

with carriers by water, and says: s'It
was fairly shown before us that instances
exist and many may be found along the
routes Of petitioners lines in the states
of Kentucky, Tennessee. Georgia, Ala.
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana, that
the water ways forced down railroad
rates below what it is possible to make
them at non.oompetitive points, and
still maintain the roads with success or
efficiency. The only question fairly re-
garding it is whether competition is kept
within the proper bounds. Low rates
are a necessity of the situation and ii
the railroads compete with the water
transportation either on the ocean
or navigable rivers, they have
no choice but to accept such
rates. To compel the roads to OBJ
serve strictly general rule laid down
by the fourth section would necessitate
their abandonment of some classes of
business in which their competition with
water transportation is now of public
importance. Railroads must either be
allowed to compete with vessel owners
and make low charges for that purpose,
or they must leave vessel owners in the
possession of the business without any
check upon the charges which competi.
tien would afford" The Commission is
of opinion that Congress had these cir.
cumstances in view in passing the law.
CANADIAN COMPETITION.
The Commission condemns competition
with the Canadian roads. 1t is believed
that under the present case of dissimilar
and conditions, whenever
such roads compete with roads in United
States for business between one part of
oar country and another. a state of cir
arises and exists as to such
business, which justifies the American
'oads meeting such competition by cor.
reduction of rates, without
'egard to the act that in so doing the
ate between terminals may be reduced
,elow rates to and from intermediate
'laces which are otherwise reasonable
md just in themselves. The fact that
he American roads are left free to meet
uch competition is an assurance that no
var on rates can be waged by the Cana
liam roads.
The Commission thinks that cases in
which competition between American
Dads will permit of any deviating from
he long and short haul clause are very
ew, but says: Zone such case is that of
